Tracy Calder

Tracy’s work has appeared in more than 20 consumer magazines, as well as on the walls of The Photographers’ Gallery and The National Portrait Gallery in London.

Andy Westlake

Technical Editor

After a first career in scientific research at Oxford and Leicester universities, Andy changed tack entirely in 2007, and joined the Digital Photography Review website (www.dpreview.com). Initially he was responsible for introducing lens reviews to the site, co-designing a new testing system and graphical data display widget, before branching out to writing camera reviews too.

Andy joined Amateur Photographer in 2014, and as technical editor is responsible for reviews of the huge number of cameras, lenses and photographic accessories that come through our door. In his free time he has a bad habit of buying old cameras and lenses on eBay purely because they look pretty.

Michael Topham

Reviews Editor

Michael pursued his passion for photography by studying Photography Editorial and Advertising at the University of Gloucestershire. He obtained his First-class honours degree in 2007 before working across several photography publications at Bauer Media, working his way up to Technical Editor. He joined the What Digital Camera team in 2012 as Technical Writer, before transferring across to Amateur Photographer magazine in 2014 as Deputy Technical Editor.

His day-to-day job involves writing camera, lens and accessory reviews for the magazine and regularly attends manufacturers press conferences to gain further knowledge about future releases and innovations. Michael works closely with colleague and Technical Editor Andy Westlake to plan and schedule reviews, first looks, field tests and all things technical throughout the magazine and across the website.
